/r/politics has been a disaster, though. Filled with Russian-style Clinton PAC paid trolls and incredibly biased and one-sided for such a "generic" subreddit. At least we know what to expect from subreddits such as /r/The_Donald, /r/Libertarian, or /r/SandersForPresident.

Perhaps it's time to get rid of the downvote button? Or come up with a better algorithm. I don't think they've been working on improving their algorithms for quite some time.

It didn't work well for Digg when they removed the downvote button. Reddit cannibalized most of their traffic when Digg V4 rolled out.
